tableField . . . refering to columns

[Roger Eller]

Correction:  You can't use 2 different item delimiters in the same command.

on mouseUp
   set the itemDelimiter to "^"
   put line 1 of fld "fPRE" into PREE1
   put item 1 of PREE1 into tJustTheItem
   set the itemDeliniter to TAB
   put tJustTheItem into item 1 of line 1 of fld "fTF"
end mouseUp
